A. Puper fov tho People. Ouanokuukg, S. C, August 27.1880. ._- , . Ova t?auk8-"*ore tendered Mr. J. F. Jackson, of Reevcsvillo, for & bas ket of the finest and most delicious peaches we ever saw. . We understand the Winship Gins advertised by Messrs Bull & Scoville are giving perfect satisfaction to pur chasers. The staple produced is of the finest quality. Several bales of new cotton have hear, sold in town during the week et eueourraging prices. It is thought the present prices will be maintained uutil the lien season begins. A gun team from our town left on Wednesday morning for Spartanbnrg to lake part in the shooting contest. We trust they will not fait short of their reputation as good sportsmou but rather add to it Mr. Kcnry Sneii who has been nt Glenn Springs for his health has re turned und we hope the quiet and comforts of home together with the tender care of loved ones may bo ef fective in restoring his health. We were pleased to welcome Mr. Jas. S. Hey ward of the Kingslree Star to ouj Sanctum on Thursday last. Mr. Hey ward is in excellent spirits, and gives a hopeful account of the political situation in Williams burg county. We were glad to meet our worthy friend Dr. W. F. Barton after his re turn from a month's Btay on Snlh vans Island with his family. The visit was both pleasant and beneficial and the sea air proved to be quite a relief from the hot and sultry weath er of tho country. Ebony Straker and Bolivor have buried the tomahawk, and henceforth peace will reign in Warsaw. We were in hopes that tho old adage?"When rogues fall ont honest men get their dues"?would bo verified in this case, but it seems thoy knew too muob on each other, and so they embraced and made up. From every section of the County wo get very unfavorable accounts ol the cotton crop. Since the last rains rust has appeared on every kind of lands, and will cut tiie crop short even pi the clay lpgioua. Bolls the size of a tuan's thumb are fulling off by scores. This is not usual in the worst < easons for rust, The two Georgia candidates for Governor, Gov, Colqnitt and ftx-Sen alor T. M. Norwood have made ar* rangements to discuss their difference before the people of the state. It ia to he hoped no had blood will spring up between them and no ill effects will result from this division in the Dem ocratic party of the Empire Stale. The Chicora Brass Band, of Char leston under the leadership of Mr. B. K. Holloway. serenaded lion's. Sam'l Dibble und C. B. Glover on Saturday evening last, Mr. Dibble in returning thanks for the honor took occasion to address, a few words to the colored citizens, advising them to make every efibrt to secure proper ty and ap education. The Orangeburg Diatriot Confer ence convenes in the Orangeburg Lu theran Church to day. There will be preaching in this church tonight at 8 o'clock, by Rev. Wm. Stoudcnmirc. On Sunday morning Rev. J, F. Probst is expected to preach, alter which the I^ord,a Supper will he ad ministered, 13 very-body is invited to attend. The corner stone of the new Moth od ist, qhuruU at Branch viiie will he laid on Wednesday, Poptember 8th, 1880. The ceremony will be made interesting by several speeshes. The public are cordially invited to attend nnd are promised an entertainment worth enjoying; also a hot dinner Will be served during the day in aid of the church and it is hoped there will be a general attendance. The Rev. Dr. Webster opened his harranguc on Saturday by informiug his colored hearers that he had no axe to grind?in other words he did not want an office. When it is taken into consideration that this political par son now holdo one of the best paying otfices in the county his disinterested-, ness can be fully understood and ap preciated. There are a good many more patriots like you, Doctor, in the Republican par.y. The factory buildings of' Mr. Geo. II. Cornelsoif are approaching com pletion. Beside the main factory in which the machinery will be operated thoro are tenement houses for the op eratives aud a brick building for seed cotton capable of holding five or six hundred bales. The boiler and en gine are already in position and only await connection with the machinery to give the long wished for hum of tho spindle to our town. Would there were more Cornelsons in Orangeburg then the beginning of a city might be dated. The 7th September is appointed by the State Executive Committee as the occasion of a grand ratiOcation Mass Meeting of the Stale to be hold at Columbia. Addrosses will be delivered by Senator Bayard of Deloware, Gov. Vance of 'North Carolina and other leading statesman of tbc South. Those- gentlemen will loll our people t hat the election of Hancock and Eng lish means the deliverence of our coun try from Radical thraldom, from tho spoilings of corrupt officials and from the deepest political disgrace that ever rested upon the fair name of a noble state. Representative!} from every quarter of tho state and tho adjoin ing stalos will bo there, and the occa sion is expected to be a glorious send off to the state campaign and to be followed up by Mass Meeting in overy County. Sheridan's Classical School will open at the rooms in the Fair Build ing on the first Monday in Septem ber, at 9 o'clock a. tn. Pupils, both boys ond girls, are requested to be punctual in their attendance on the flrstpJay of the term. This is (impor tant in ordor to onablo the principal to classify and arrange the grades. The necessary assistance will be cm ployed and every effort made to ad vance tho pupils in their studies. Tho reputation of the school for thor ough teaching and strict discipline will be maintained, and, by extra ef forts, improved during the year. The success of the past encovrages the principal to hope for a liberal pat ronage from tho public. Students from the surrounding communities, and other counties can obtain board in the family of the principal, with Mr. J. M. Danner or G. W. Brunsen. For price of tuition, board and course of study see advertisement in another column, At a recent meeting of tho board of trustees of the Agricultural Col lege at Columbia, complete arrange ments were made to opon that insti tution on the 1st of October next. Tho chair of Geology, made vacant by the declination of Prof. Joseph LeConte, was filled by the election of tho Kev. James Wood row of Colum bia and late Piofossor in the Theolo gical Seminary there, Sullicicnt money was placed at tho disposal of the Executive Committee to provide for u successful beginning of the first term, Mr. G. W. Connors, of Hamp ton County was elected foreman of the farm. Ail tenants, who have been occupying the College buildings, will remove forthw'th in ordor that the rooms may be mai'e ready for the students, who will be charged no other fee than that of ten dollars for room ren t. The name of the inslitu lion is "'nie South Carolina College of Agricultural Mechanics," and of course degrees of graduation will be conferred on all those who complete tho prescribed course. This is the first effort made since the war to give tho youth of our country a strictly practical education. The prediction has gone forth that the enterprise will be a failure, because the business of a College is to train the mind to think properly, whitest to do, is the after work of the student himself. We really see no reason why a College may not learn a man to do as well as to think?why not both. Re-Union.?On Friday, the 13th instant, the students and ex-students of Newberry College from the lower, portion of the State met at Trinity Church iu Middle St. Matthews for the purpose of organising a union among them in the interest of educa tion generally. After the usual pre liminaries, a permanent organisation was made by electing Prof. J. B. O. Ilolloway, President, Rev. William Stoudenmire, Secretary and Treasur er, and the present incumbents to the (Alier offices. Speeches were made in behalf of general education by Prof. J. B. O. Ilolloway, !J. G. Sheri dan, Prof. Gco. B. Cromor and Rev. S. S. liabn, tho two last professors of Newberry College who made most excellent addresses in advocacy of col lego education as the best system yet devised for training the mind and preparing the studcut for future suc cess in any of the vocations of life. These gentlemen have inudc a most favorable impression upon tho com munity, and will doubtless widen their sphere of usefulness in a field where there are already many honor ed graduates of Newberry College. After a rpcess of an hour to partake of a splendid dinner prepared for the occusion by the citizens of the neigh borhood,, tho Union reassembled to finish tho business before it. Re?o lutions of thanks to tho citizens for their generous hospitality were unan imously adopted, and, after tho bene diction, a meeting of all the Sunday School children from the different churches was culled. C^uite a num ber of schools were represented, and Rev. Wm. Stoudenmire, Rev. S. S. Ruhii and Prof. Geo. 15. Cromer en tertained the large audience in their happiest style. The occasiou was a most enjoyable one all rouim. Ik any body wants hotter weather than this, we would refer him to Pluto's dominion where, perhaps, lie may be accomodatcd. The cold wave that passed over the Eastern States two weeks ago has not readied this part of the wor!-1 According to the call of tho Execu tive Committee the Democratic Nom inating Convention met in the Court Houso on Wednesday last at 12 o'clock m. Hon. Sam'l Dibble, Coun ty Chairmag culled tho meeting to or der and, after an appropriate address to the delegates present, requested Mr. J. L. Heidlmao, Sect'y of Exec utive Committee, to call tbe. list of clubs and rolls of delegates and alter nates. Tbe call having been com pleted, objections were laised to the delegations from Humpton and Rocky Grove Clubs which necessita ted tbe appointment of a committee on credentials. One from each club constituted tho committee and after a 'short absence reported the difficulties adjusted. Tho Chairman announced that the convention was ready for per manent organization and on motion Hon. S. Dibble was elected President by acclamation, Dr. R. W. Bates, Mr. J. H. Felder and Dr. O. II. Ott were in tbe same manner elected Vice pres idents ; and Mr. W. L. Glaze Secti os Treas. Mr. Jno. N. Hook, Assist Scct'y & Mr J. L. Heidlman was ap pointed Sergeant at arms. Resolutions requiring all candi dates and delegates to pledge them selves to support tho ticket about to ho put in the field wore laid on tho table on the ground thai, it was un necessary, the party being harmoni ous and every delegate felt himself in honor bound to support the ticket with his best efforts, also to require all caudidatcs for the legislature to ex press their views upon tho subject of whiskey and pistols, were unanimous ly voted down. The President announc ed that tho convention was ready to unter upon the work of nominating a county ticket and asked which should be tho basis of election, a two third vote of the delegates or a majority. It was decided that a majority vote .should rule and that ihr ?o minutes be allowed for any speech putting in nomination a candidate. Gen. Jus. F. Izlav was upon motion unanimous ly nominated for the position of State Senator. Ten or fifteen geutlcmcn were put before the convention for the Legislature and on the first bal lot Dr. J. W. Summers having re ceived ninety five votes und Dr. J. ('. Holman eighty nino were declared elected. A motion was then made to nominate the two next highest by ac clamation which was aboptcd and Capt. Augustus Fludd and Dr. B. 11. Knotts were declared nomiued. The Colored delegates, nine in number, then presented the names of Alexan der Brown and Aaron Simmons for the Canvenliou to select one of them as a candidate for the Legislature. After the ballot the President de clared that Alexander Brown was elected. ? The following gentlemen, after nu merous ballotings, were nominated for the county offices ; Clerk ot the Court, Mr.* Joseph Robinsen ; Sheriff, Mr. A. M. Salloy ; Judge of Probate, B. P. Izlar ; Coun ty Commissioners, Messrs. C. G. Dantzler, J. C Fanning and Marsh al! Jones, colored ; School Commis sioner, Mr. Styles R. Mellichams, and Coroner, Mr. J. L. Heidlman. The delegates, having now completed the work for which they were called and a resolution of thanks to the Presi dent having been offered by Mr. Jno. H. Phillips, for the able and impar tial manner in which he had conduct ed the business of tho session, the Convention was addressed by the the President upon the importance of Harmony and Unity in the party and earnest effort on the part of every vo ter in order to secure the election of the ticket. The Convention after a laborious session adjourned at half past eleven o'clock P. M. Thk syoophantish Bolivor advised tho negroes last Saturday in his har raugue to them to carry the election by peaceable means if possiblo, and if thev couldn't carry it by peaceable means to carry it by some other. Such incendinary Inrguagc as this is calculated to brew trouble, and when the "other means" is being used we'll wager a hat that the redoubtable George won't he there. We regret being absent from our office on the occasion of a oull by Mr. A. Barron Holmes on Wednesday last, tho worthy representative of Ed ward Perry, bookseller and stationers of Charleston, S. 0., and hope he will honor us with another call when wc wiH be pleased to welcome him .to our sarctum.
